  1. So apparently Virgil had been kayfabing his age even through his death. He had told everyone over the years he was born in 1962, but he was actually born in 1951. Most reports list him dying at 61, but he was actually 72, thus making him one of the oldest guys on the WWF roster in the 80s and 90s, older than Hogan, Piper, Jake, Dibiase, Savage and only two years younger than Flair. He was 40 when he won the Million Dollar Title at Summerslam 91, which is absolutely crazy.
  2. Not sure if you recognized them, but the doormen for this show were a very young Matt and Jeff Hardy.
  3. Playing Devil's advocate, what if the plan is still Cody and Roman and this is just a way to build some groundswell support behind Cody a la the Yes Movement? Not saying I believe that, but I think we see a lot of "We want Cody!" chants in the coming weeks.
  4. Not sure, they didn't tell us anything other than that it's a new show.
  5. As someone who was there, this did a really good job at getting the crowd hot for the live show. Local start time was 6:45, only 15 minutes before Smackdown went on the air. They managed to fit in two matches with entrances in that 15 minute window. With the matches being so short they were non-stop action, no stalling or rest holds. The second match ended only a minute or so before 7, they went right into the Smackdown intro and the crowd was on fire.
  6. It would actually be a perfect Elimination Chamber match. Start the match with Sami and Jimmy, bring Solo in third to double team. KO fourth to even the odds, Roman fifth for a 3 on 2 advantage, then Jey last where you don't know who he is going to side with.
  7. This reminds of the time I went grocery shopping with my mom and spent the entire time in the magazine section reading various wrestling and video game magazines and one magazine, I can't remember which, said that if you beat the game with all eight wrestlers you unlocked Adam Bomb. So I spent an entire Saturday afternoon doing just that to be rewarded with nothing. I was PISSED.
  8. I absolutely love old school Survivor Series where there were nothing but elimination matches, and 1989 is one of my favorites. It's, IMO, the best show for the Monsoon/Ventura team, their back and forth during both Hogan's and Warrior's matches is fantastic. That's probably part of it, I wonder if it had been decided yet that Warrior was getting the World Title run at Mania. There are a couple of other reasons though too, it allowed them to run a small post-match angle to help build up the No Holds Barred PPV, and it allowed them to talk about dissension in the Heenan Family throughout the show to explain Tully's absence.
  9. The Hogan/Beefcake vs Savage/Zeus cage match was on the Supertape Volume 1 Coliseum Video, which is on Peacock: https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/sports/wwe/wwe-supertape-volume-1/40653eb4-56bd-333b-b12f-259676db96aa
  10. I never really understood the story behind Dibiase buying 30. They show him draw his number, he's horrified when he sees it, and then he approaches Slick and it's implied he buys it from him. The thing is Bossman and Akeem enter at 22 and 23, so what was Dibiase's original number? His reaction when drawing doesn't match getting 22 or 23. It would have made way more sense if he had bought it from Heenan with Andre entering at 3, especially with the history Dibiase and Andre had. I'm sure I put way more thought into than Vince did though, it was probably just "Fuck it! Just tell them he bought 30, no one's going to think about it!"
  11. Bob Uecker is in both the baseball and WWE HOFs.
  12. She could just stream on Twitch and easily make six figures if she wanted to.
  13. This game is what caused Ventura to leave the company in 1990. Vince wouldn't allow him to do it because it wasn't a WWF licensed game, so Ventura left but the game never actually came out.
  14. Wrestlemania Challenge on NES was decent, but the other three WWF games on the console were pretty trash. The three WWF games on SNES were okay to good, each one improved on the previous. RAW is best one, though Royal Rumble has such a great roster with Bret, Shawn, Flair, Perfect, Savage and Dibiase. That said, the best wrestling game on that console is Saturday Night Slam Masters, can you imagine what a classic game it would have been if Capcom had the WWF license?
